This is an excellent foundation, especially for a normal to dry skin. During most winter months I had to change my foundation as it left a powdery residue on my skin. With this one it glides on. Layering is excellent too- I prefer a more natural look, so I apply with a brush for daytime and do two layers/sponge application for more coverage. It lasts for what feels like forever. Easily lasts for 6-12m
